Ripple Music Celebrating Fifth Anniversary
Let’s face it: Five years of anything in the music industry is an accomplishment. Thriving and helping to support an international underground are one thing, but sheer survival is a feat worthy of praise. Ripple Music, whose first release was JPT Scare Band‘s 2010 offering, Acid Blues is the White Man’s Burden (review here), mark half a decade of existence this month, and they’ll do so in fitting style. A righteous sale of their releases is on now for anyone who might need to catch up, and there’s a label compilation out now that features 24 tracks culled from Ripple offerings, and a free download of some sort coming soon from the Cody Foster Army.
Ripple‘s growth in its five years has been considerable, but I don’t think anything yet has compared to what they’ve undertaken thus far in 2015. We’re about halfway through the year, and Ripple has signed Kind, Chiefs, Switchblade Jesus, Bonehawk, Space Probe Taurus, Blackwülf, Blue Snaggletooth and Red Desert, and that’s in addition to working with Geezer, Borracho, Supervoid and more on their The Second Coming of Heavy series of vinyl splits and continuing their association with ascendant acts like Mos Generator and Mothership. If nothing else, they’re busy.
Congratulations and continued success to Todd and John from the label. Info on their five-year doings follows, as culled from the Ripple Music Thee Facebooks page:
This month marks our 5 year anniversary. Yes! 5 years since we released JPT Scare Band “Acid Blues is the White Man’s Burden.” Lot’s of ups and downs since then but we wouldn’t be here without your continual support. So to all who’ve picked up an album, sent us a letter of encouragement, volunteered to help out, or simply said, “hey”, we thank you. And as a token of our appreciation, starting tomorrow through the end of the month, all early Ripple releases in stock will be at an amazingly low “Anniversary Sale” price. Stop by and stock up, and thank you!
Lots of fun stuff planned this month to celebrate our 5th Year Anniversary and say thank you! First up, the big sale with the lowest prices we’ve ever done! Next, keep your eyes open for our Free 5 Year Anniversary Download Compilation featuring 24 bands we’ve worked with over the years, and also stay tuned for a fun, free project from the Cody Foster Army.
